Laser Hair Removal Philosophy
Our philosophy for laser hair removal mirrors our approach to laser tattoo removal: invest in the industry’s most advanced technology and the highest level of clinical training and support. We achieved this standard through our partnership with Candela Medical, a global leader in energy-based medical devices since 1970. Their proven technology and exceptional clinical support ensure our clients receive safe, effective treatments backed by one of the most trusted names in laser aesthetics.
The Best LHR Technology
The GentleMax Pro Plus by Candela Laser is the latest generation of Candela’s renowned Gentle Pro Series, delivering unmatched versatility and performance for aesthetic practices. Built on over two decades of clinical success, this dual-wavelength platform combines a 755 nm Alexandrite laser with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG to safely and effectively treat all skin types with increased power, speed, and larger spot sizes. It’s engineered for fast and comfortable laser hair removal.
At Coastal Laser, patient comfort is a priority. Our laser is equipped with an integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which delivers a precise burst of cryogen before each pulse to enhance comfort, protect surrounding tissue, and optimize heat dissipation.
LHR: Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most clients require 6–10 treatments, depending on the treatment area, hair density, and follicle type. Hormonal areas such as the face and groin may require additional sessions. Clients with darker skin tones may also need a more conservative treatment plan to ensure safe and effective results.
When Will I See Full Results?
Noticeable hair reduction typically begins after just a few sessions. Once 85–95% reduction is achieved, maintenance treatments are usually recommended once or twice per year as needed.
How Long Is Each Treatment?
Treatment times vary by area. Small areas may take only a few minutes, while larger areas or full-body sessions can take up to an hour or more.
How Much Does It Cost?
Pricing is based on the size and complexity of the treatment area. We offer customizable packages and savings options, including 20% off when enrolling in a treatment package.
Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?
Most clients find treatment mildly uncomfortable yet highly tolerable. Our system is equipped with an integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which delivers a burst of cryogen prior to each laser pulse to enhance comfort and protect surrounding tissue from excess heat. Following treatment, chilled aloe gel is applied to soothe the skin and promote optimal cooling.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Temporary redness, mild swelling, itching, or sensitivity may occur and typically resolve within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and products to support optimal healing and results.
How Does It Work?
Laser energy targets the melanin in the hair follicle, converting light into heat to disable future growth. Treatments are scheduled to target hair during the active growth (anagen) phase for maximum effectiveness. To ensure optimal results, avoid waxing, plucking, threading, or depilatory creams between sessions, as these remove the follicle needed for laser targeting.
